PT-symmetrized exact solution of the singular Eckart oscillator

Published Dec 7, 1999• 0 citations

Abstract

The well known Eckart's singular s-wave potential is PT-symmetrically regularized and continued to the whole real line. The new model remains exactly solvable and its bound states remain proportional to Jacobi polynomials. Its real and discrete spectrum exhibits several unusual features.

𝒫𝒯 ( = parity times time-reversal) symmetry of complex Hamiltonians with real spectra is usually interpreted as a weaker mathematical substitute for Hermiticity. Perhaps an equally important role is played by the related strengthened analyticity assumptions. In a constructive illustration we complexify a few potentials solvable only in s -wave. Then we continue their domain from the semi-axis to the whole axis and obtain new exactly solvable models. Their energies turn out to be real as expected. The new one-dimensional spectra themselves differ quite significantly from their s -wave predecessors.

The fourth, missing example of an exactly solvable complex potential with PT symmetry V(x) = [V(-x)]^* defined on a bent contour and leading, at the real energies, to the Jacobi polynomial wave functions is found in a generalized Hulthen interaction.

Discrete PT-symmetric square-well oscillators

Miloslav Znojil

Exact solvability of the discretized N-point version of the PT-symmetric square-well model is pointed out. Its wave functions are found proportional to the classical Tshebyshev polynomials of a complex argument. At all N a compact secular equation is derived giving the real spectrum of energies at any non-Hermiticity strength Z below its finite and weakly N-dependent critical value. In the limit of vanishing Z the model degenerates to a Hermitian Hueckel Hamiltonian.

New set of exactly solvable complex potentials giving the real energies

Miloslav Znojil

We deform the real potential of Poeschl and Teller by a shift of its coordinate in imaginary direction. We show that the new model remains exactly solvable. Its bound states are constructed in closed form. Wave functions are complex and proportional to Jacobi polynomials. Some of them diverge in the Hermitian limit. In contrast, all their energies prove real and shift-independent. In this sense the lost Hermiticity of our family of Hamiltonians seems replaced by their accidental PT symmetry.
